I'm currently playing an Outlanderbuild with Glaves/Blade Pact as main Skillpoint sink and am experimentating how to round things up.

Today I tried Repulsion Hex and have to say it's pretty amazing so far. I use a Shotgoone and with Repulsion Hex and Blade Pact Slow. I manage it to just push everything away for nearly as long as I need to finish my (melee) foes. Life has become so much easier. Also the duration of initially 40 seconds is quite nice so you don't have to recast it too often.

Did any of you guys try it out yet? If so, what are your thoughts on the skill? I'm currently playing Act II on Elite.

I'm not good about remembering to recast things every 40 seconds, so usually I die with it off and that is the only time I remember to use it. Also, in act 3, 95% of my deaths are due to stuff on the ground that I'm standing in, so that skill does not help much with that.
